Jeremiah 29:17 in Context — Jeremiah 29
15 Cependant vous dites: Dieu nous a suscité des prophètes à Babylone!
16 Ainsi parle l’Éternel sur le roi qui occupe le trône de David, sur tout le peuple qui habite cette ville, sur vos frères qui ne sont point allés avec vous en captivité;
17 ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Voici, j’enverrai parmi eux l’épée, la famine et la peste, et je les rendrai semblables à des figues affreuses qui ne peuvent être mangées à cause de leur mauvaise qualité.
18 Je les poursuivrai par l’épée, par la famine et par la peste, je les rendrai un objet d’effroi pour tous les royaumes de la terre, un sujet de malédiction, de désolation, de moquerie et d’opprobre, parmi toutes les nations où je les chasserai,
19 parce qu’ils n’ont pas écouté mes paroles, dit l’Éternel, eux à qui j’ai envoyé mes serviteurs, les prophètes, à qui je les ai envoyés dès le matin; et ils n’ont pas écouté, dit l’Éternel.
